Answer:

[tex]P\left(8\right)=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that a fair die is rolled.

  • The sample space is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and all the outcomes are equally likely.

Let  X  be the set of all possible outcomes. Let  A  be an outcome.

So, the probability that  A  occurs is:

                                                        [tex]P\left(A\right)=\frac{|A|}{|X|}[/tex]

As the set of all possible outcomes of the roll of a single die is:

[tex]X=\left\{1,2,3,4,5,6\right\}[/tex]

Observe that

[tex]|X|=6[/tex]

Here  

[tex]|A|=0[/tex]   because 8 is not in the set sample space. So, the outcome of occurring the number 8 is not possible from the all possible outcomes.

So, the probability must be zero.

In other words,

                        [tex]P\left(A\right)=\frac{|A|}{|X|}[/tex]

                         [tex]P\left(8\right)=\frac{0}{6}=0[/tex]

Therefore,

                   [tex]P\left(8\right)=0[/tex]

The value of P(8) is 0.

Given

Assume that a fair die is rolled.

The sample space is, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and all the outcomes are equally likely.

Sample space;

A sample space is a collection of a set of possible outcomes of a random experiment.

Let X be the set of all possible outcomes and A be an outcome.

Then,

The probability of A occurs is;

[tex]\rm P(A)=\dfrac{|A|}{|X|}[/tex]

Total number of sets X = 6

And 8 is not in sample space so A = 0

Substitute all the values in the formula;

[tex]\rm P(A)=\dfrac{|A|}{|X|}\\\\\rm P(8)=\dfrac{|0|}{|6|}\\\\P(8)=0[/tex]

Hence, the value of P(8) is 0.
